Aloha all!
We are pleased to announce that Exotica 2007 is on. Mark your calendars for the weekend of July 7. That's 7/7/07. We will once again be having an all-day blowout that Saturday at Fitzgerald's with music provided by great acts such as the The Astronauts, The Concussions, The Volcanos, The Bikini Beachcombers and The Reluctant Aquanauts. Joining us again this year are The Neanderthals and while The Los Straitjackets can not be there this time, we have Los Santos! We are also VERY please to announce that this year we are honored to feature the legendary band The Trashmen! That's right, the bird IS the word this summer at Exotica!

Of course, we'll also have some hula dancing, some go-go gals, guest DJs, vintage surf flicks, vendors selling the best of Tiki and Hawaiiana and smaller events Thursday, Friday and Sunday.

Hope you can come out and join us in celebrating as Tiki surfs into Chicago this summer.

YES!!!! What a great band line-up! Very happy that you guys are organizing this again. It is a huge endeavor, but well worth it. 2005 was an absolute blast...can't wait!

Yo Hala,

When is that baby rum drinker due?

Bullhiki-

If my memory serves me correctly regarding the due date, I think he/she could be born right there at Fitzgerald's!

...which doesn't rule out the possibility of the delivery being performed by a guy in a Mexican wrestling mask!

..good news indeed!! nice to see it happening again....i just wish you guys were able to draw bands that weren't all local....most of your line-up at this time consists of bands we locals have seen in these parts a million times....which is a good thing for those coming in from out of town that haven't seen them....last exotica had the nelsonics, which rocked the house and was awesome to see them play live..don't you have any musical contacts to draw upon?? how about a call for bands outside the midwest?? anyway, should be a good time and i don't mean to knock your efforts.....look forward to it just the same...

...now i'm gonna sit here and wait for the "if you don't like the bands than start your own event" rebuttle from the peanut gallery....LOL
